This issue is intended to track the release of version 0.8.0 of the python-control toolbox. All of the changes that go along with this release are now done, so I am planning to use this issue to track the steps in actually getting the release out the door (since the last time we did one was a couple of years back!).

I've put an outline of what I think the steps are for generating a release on the wiki underrelease instructions. Will start working through those and post progress here. (I'm going to be doing this off and on in the coming week or so => might take a while to get things out the door. If anyone wants to help, just let me know!).
